Looks like grep is segfaulting, does grep segfault when used outside of a build? At any other time? Do you have preempt enabled? It can cause random segfaults. I can't replicate the behaviour here.
The problem seems to have fixed itself. I did the latest emerge --sync last night and ran emerge and it seemed to be fixed. The only difference was that I emerged the latest portage first, then emerged world. I think this is resolved.
